G'day all,

I've just moved over to Chase Plane from EzDok V1 and V2, getting my head around it slowly.

An issue I had in EzDok is still present with Chase Plane, where I press the key to go into the cockpit and I either get a wide-angle view with no VC, or a wide-angle view with the 2D panel. I then have to spam the key until finally the correct preset is loaded.

Tried all of the suggestions here however the issue persists. I even tried uninstalling Chase Plane, deleting my cameras.cfg file and letting P3D build another, and reinstalling Chase Plane. No help.

From what I can see this may be an ongoing issue however would appreciate if any light could be shed on this, as it is an incredibly frustrating problem to have.

Cheers,

Joe.

1 - Remove the cameras.cfg file located in %appdata%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
2 - Launch P3D to regenerate it
3 - Close P3D
4 - Launch ChasePlane to fix the file
5 - Launch P3D

If that does not work, make sure you don't have those keys assigned in the sim.

Hi Keven,

I have tried all of the above except for the key assignments in sim - I just went through and removed them all. Unfortunately the issue persists.

Cheers.

Can you generate and post a Report generated from ChasePlane's Preferences?
